Journalel ing 16 is a longitudinal.; coupled :te .the .armature Sl AAnother objectofthis l vide adnachine of the above type consist-y j ing of comparativelyN few parts` ineipensive to manufacture, not liable--tojinjuryby ordif nary use, and highly eiicient --forthe pur-. poses for, whichit is intended.

With the above and'other objects inview, the invention resides in a. novely construc-- tion, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein v Figure 1 is a perspective view of the machine. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same partly broken awayand partly in section. Fig. 3 '1s a cross sectional view of a portion of the machine, and Fig. iis a plan of a suction head forming part of the machine.

A machinein accordance with this inventiony comprises a vbase 1- having the ends thereof provided with lateral feet 2. The base-1, intermediate. the'ends thereof, lhasv an enlargement?) that is provided witha vertical opening 4. The-base 1 is` cored out to provide alongitudinalbore 5 that is in communication with the opening 4 and the opposite end of the boreis in communication with a verticall opening 6 `at one end of the base 1f..

The lopposite lvend of the base 1 is provided withapedestal 7 for a'n electrically operated straps 9 is a switch board 10 that is provided with a socket 11, switches 12 and a rheostat 13, all which are of the ordinary and well known type for'controlling the op- The base 1,`atvthe oppositev end from the pedestal 7, ispr'ovid'-edwithA acoupling memsaid guards 'and jtliemshield"24:'ai' by longitudinal lframes- 26 having the ends `opening 4, bore 5; opening thereof-attached to the bearing 16 and the motor base 8`.`

Mounted upon the enlargement 3'- is a guide 27 and extending through A1said guide.

into the vertical opening 4 is a tube 28. The tube 28 intermediate the ends thereof, has a collar 29 .and mounted upon the upper end of said tube and resting uponthe collar 29 is a pipe 30, the upper endof which is rovided with a flat perforated suction hea 31. The flat suction head 31 is circular in plan and is supported directly beneath the brush 23. Arranged lupon the tube 28, below the collar 29, is a sleeve 32 and encircling the tube 28, between the lower end of the sleeve 32 and the guide 27 is a coiled compression `spring 33 that yieldably supports the tube 28, the pipe 30 and the `suction head.31 thereof.. Assuming that the machine is in operation, the fiat suction headl can be lowered whereby a piece of. cloth can be placed over the head and by allowing the head 31 to assume this normal position, the

piece of cloth is held against the bristle of the brush 23 and as-the cloth is agitated by the brush, the dirt and foreign matter is sucked or drawn into the head 31, from where it passes through the pipe 30, tube 28, 6, hollow pedestal 15, angle port 22, spout 21, casing -18 into the discharge chute 20. The discharge chute 20 can be in the form of a bag for collecting the filth and foreign matter removed from fthe piece of fabric that contacts with the brush 23. The cloth or fabric canbe easily -moved over the suction head, whereby it can .be expeditiously cleaned.

It isv thought that the operation and utility of the cleaning :machine will be .apparent without further description, and while lin the drawing, there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that t-he structural elements are susceptible'to such variations and modificationslas fall within the scope of the ap\ pended claims.

What- Iclaim is pedestals' carried by the ends thereof, a mo- 1. ',Inafclothes cleaning machine, a base,

tor-carried by one of said pedestals, a bearing carriedby the'other of said pedestals, va

- i longitudinal shaft journaled in said bearing `and adapted to be revolved by said motor, a brush" mounted upon said shaft, a suction -head yieldably supported belowsaid brush, and-means operated by said shaft for pro@ ducing al suction in said suction head.

2. A clothes cleaning machine comprising pedestals, av motor carried by one of said pedestals, a. bearing carried bythe other of said pedestals, a longitudinal shaft journaled .'insaid bearing 4and adapted to b eoperated by'said motor, a brushmountedupon said brush mounted upon said shaft, a

shaft, a suction head yieldabl supported below said brush, and means inc uding a fan for producing suction in said suction --head.

,3.A .A machine of the type described, com- -prising a base, .pedestals carried thereby, a

.suction head located below said brush, and means actuated by said shaft and including a fan for producing a suction in said suction head through the medium of said base.
